I’m driving a uhaul for the first time by myself from Oklahoma to Chicago. Wish me luck!😭

I’m driving a 15’ U-Haul from Jersey to Rhode Island and I’m beyond nervous but seeing everyone’s comments I feel a bit better

Good tip NO PASSING. Thank you

2:05 tip 1 watch side mirrors, more space to break, going fast risk not worth it, wider turns,secure load,map, dont back out when leaving /park with a plan,Inspect The Truck thanks, other videos on youtube for search was bad this was super helpful.

Thank you. Though I drove a smaller uhaul years ago, the distance wasn't as far as it will be tomorrow and the truck is way bigger. I just pray and have faith that God will see me threw

about to test my hand with driving one of these from IL to FL. jesus please take the wheel

Wow, a year to the date, and here I am watching, u-haul rented, getting ready to move into my first home. Thanks for the tips, man! Feeling good with the info, and will be sure to go over the checklist again before we hit the road. Peace & Love & cheers to the New Year!

Great video. Your tips are useful for driving anything bigger than a truck or suv.

Thank you so much for your tips! I'm moving from one end of the easy coast to the other in a few months and need all the help I can get lol

Thanks for this video! A lot of what you covered is common sense, but things I wasn't really thinking about since I'm so focused on packing and coordinating everything.

Great tips!! I’m driving a 16 ft. U-haul Truck towing my car from Jersey to Florida. I’m also looking forward to getting my CDL so I’ll be checking out your site. Thanks

Really great information, well described too! thanks!

Driving from Indiana to Georgia tomorrow. Thanks for the video

Thanks for the tips. Doing a move from Western Maryland to Phoenix Arizona. Nervous. Renting a 16ft Pensake doing the drive with my dad. Nervous but really appreciate the tips.

this is helpful. thanks !

Doing a road test tomorrow for a job that requires me to drive a box truck. Thank you for the tips!!!

Thank you! Very helpful

Thanks a lot for this useful video.

Moving apartments in Philadelphia. Nervous for the tighter roads but i think i can handle it. Great video, thank you!

Thanks! I was able to move with ease and confidence after listening to your tips.

EXTREMELY GRATEFUL !

Thanks. Very helpful. I too am making a solo move from upstate NY to Central Texas with 15"foot box truck and an auto transporter trailer. A bit nervous. I hope your website provides a little more guidance on maneuvering turns. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info! After being scammed by a "moving company" who is the defendant in a lawsuit for extortion (they basically hold people's things hostage while demanding more and more cash), I decided to drive a 16' Budget truck 2K mi. I debated towing my car but was already nervous about the 16 footer, so I'm going to fly back to get my car and drive it to my new location. I appreciate the tips. I was not expecting to drive a large truck with such short notice. Your video was very helpful in alleviating some anxiety about it.

Great tips. Looking for back up and docking vids for a straight truck.

Thanks alot for this info my guy I'm about to make the run from Northern Florida all the way to Boston in a 16 footer Box truck LOL Wish me luck

First of all, thank you so much for this video. It made me feel a lot better. Ive been really stressed and a little nervous with the moving etc.. and this made feel relieved. I just got a question and thats what has brought me to this video. Is there a certain way i should distribut the weight in the truck. For example, heavier boxes under the lighter ones? and should i try to balance the weight on both sides? Should i focus the biggest weight in the front or the back? Stuff like that. I might be worrying a little too much about the physics of it. But im also really curious. Is there a 'best way to load the truck' kinda tutorial somewhere?

Great video💯🤗🙂

Whoooo this is going to be an experience for me!

Great tips

"Make sure to give yourself extra space" I'm about to drive one around Brooklyn thanks to Ikea refusing to do pick up returns let's see how well that works out for me

Prepping for a trip from Colorado to Maine soon. More than a little bit terrified.

thank you!!!

Moving in four days and I'm really nervous even though I used to drive a truck for work and I'm used to driving larger vehicles. Maybe it's the fact that I'm renting something? Dunno. Fingers crossed that all goes well :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of these tips. We are driving 3000 miles and we are both excited but nervous. Great tips. 🤓

I drove my 2001 GMC C6500 Topkick 26' Box truck, approx. 700 miles, in 13 1/2 hours, including 2 quick fuel stops. No problems, just slow in the Truck Lane, on steep grades, like most other trucks. Sold it shortly after that.

I need these tips in my work

I'm driving a 15 foot tomorrow and am not too terribly scared. I'm going to my municipal landfill first to dump some stuff (you pay by weight and by what is being dumped, I'm not dumping illegally, lol). The path to get there doesn't seem too bad. I once had to drive a Uhaul back to my mom's place because her license at the time was suspended so she couldn't rent it. The distance was very short, 2, 3 miles at most. But god, was it full of very sharp turns that even in a car I've had to remind myself to slow down for. Then, it crests into a steep hill for a moment before descending steeply. The height of the brakes was not something I was used to and I was terrified I'd fly right through the stop sign intersection. Thankfully, I did brake in time. The opening of my mom's apartment complex was to the left but once in the parking space, I got out and switched with her, lol. I don't do well with reversing (though from another video, I see the 15" can fit in a single parking space). She and my brother drove it the rest of the day and returned it after-hours when no one would see her driving it, lol. My nerves were shot after that experience. But again, this truck is smaller and the terrain should be a lot smoother.

Driving tomorrow with my 1st 26ft foe the first time. I’m extremely nervous. ESP, with all the controls and the pressure stuff. I’m nervous as ever. I surly will be driving slow. Thank you !

Driving a 24 ft box truck for work now. Been a week. I need more practice on reversing into a tight spot and turning into a tight spot 🤦‍♀️ lord help me. I like this job.

Even though you don't need CDL but I'm suprise don't have some type training for 26ft box truck

Another tip for every driver, every single time... compare the license plate to the info on the paperwork and make sure they match. Therr are horror stories of people getting arrested and having to deal with a bunch of nonsense. I know of st least 2 on KZfaq.

South east to mid state... We got this.

Good advice, I'm driving a 12 foot u haul truck and pulling my car behind it from Austin to Fort Worth in a couple of days. I'm a little nervous not being able to see behind me but as you say, if I check the mirrors a lot, take wide turns and not go to fast I should be okay. I'm worried about the doly behind the truck with my car, it's seems like turns will be more difficult, but I see people doing it all the time so it can't be that hard. I think I will purchase their insurance just to be on the safe side.

Anyone here that can recommend a gps app that will help avoid restricted areas for 20 ft u-haul trucks. Moving from nyc to nc Thanks in advance

Thanks for this bro, I’m driving a 26’ Uhaul across the country with my car towed on the back😂😭

What about weigh stations? Do we have to stop at those? What are the laws, rules, etc? Does it vary by state? Thanks for the video!

Any suggestions/advice on how to drive a uhaul with a tow dolly behind (towing my car). I'm not really nervous on driving the uhaul but I don't know how to make those turns or change lanes with a tow dolly in the back. I'm just nervous I wouldn't be able to estimate my turns or changing of lanes and hit someone because I'm driving something really long.

Driving a box truck and saw something on the psi going under 60 and pulling over?. The guy did not explain it well on what you do if that happens

Can you talk about the brakes and air breaks psi and if your psi goes below 60 what do you do? Ect ect

Do you have to stop for weigh stations and such when traveling across different states? Ill be moving from Missouri to Massachusetts in a few months. Saw mixed advice online. Lots of people saying nothing will happen if you drive by- others saying to stop just to be safe. Apart from clearance is there anything "truck" related to look out for on the roads?

How different would it be to drive a 22ft Penske - from driving a fedex Grumman?

We are planing to drive 26” Penske truck from NM to FL , what would be best place to fuel truck on a road

Besides home furniture, what can I haul with Uhaul?

Got a 12 hour drive ahead of me- super nervous !!

I have a question, I am going to be renting a U haul truck and pulling my car on a dolly behind me. The car is going to be set in place on the dolly at the Uhaul location and then I will be driving the whole thing back to my apartment to load everything on to the truck. Will there be enough room between the front of the car and the back of the truck for me to load the truck? If there isn't, I will have to take a cab, pick up the truck, drive it home load of truck and then attach the trailer and put the car on it myself and that makes me a little uncomfortable. What do you say about this dilemma?

This video is perfect thank you so much !!! Im waiting in my UPS road test soon , never driven anything bigger than a SUV, was surprised to hear I didn’t need a CDL for the ups box truck road test . I have no training with trucks however , any final tips ?

From Georgia to Nevada. I have to Travel in a 16' Penske with 2 People, Including my myself, a Turtle and a Cat. Any Suggestions.

i drive a 16 footer everyday for furniture deliveries and our truck broke down and we rented a 26 footer it’s a little nerve wrecking but the only thing that worries me is the larger front on the cab (ours was flat ) and it seems like the brake is insanely hard to push push to hard and it stops suddenly maybe i’m just not used to the air brakes or just first day new truck nerves ?

So what should I do about a husband who is a first time driver of a 26 foot box truck towing a car over 1000 miles who thinks he doesn't need any practice or tips? 🤯🤯🤯

How slow is safe on the hwys that are 80mph?! Those are what I'm nervous for.

No rear view mirror. Thank you

I’m driving a production truck wish me luck I’m scared!!!!

my fish!!!

Applying for a job with requires driving a box truck. About ready to rent a uhaul for practice! 🤣🤣

Great tips, I hope to hell no one is putting their damn pets in the back. But someone has probably done it

I’m going to move from Kansas to California with 26ft truck
